 Estremadura, Portugal
The historical Portuguese province and region of Estremadura (from the Latin "extrema durii" "farthest land on the Douro"), consists of the districts of Lisboa (Lisbon), Leiria and Setúbal, together with the national capital Lisbon, comprising in its center the estuary area of the Tagus as far as the basin of the Ribatejo.
To the south it includes the Setúbal peninsula (Serra da Arrábida) as far as the mouth of the Rio Sado.
Because of its fertility and diversity of landscape within a relatively small area, Estremadura, together with Ribatejo adjoining it on the east has since Roman times been central to the development of Lusitanian and later Portuguese culture.

The region is dominated by 15 large co-operatives all of which are now included in Estremaduras 6 IPRs (Indicação de Proveniencia Regulamentada)– it means a second tier of approved wine region, something similar to a commune in the French system of classification.

 The wines of Casa Santos Lima, Portugal
My only criticism would be that some of the wines do taste a tiny bit overextracted, and lack a little finesse.
Alicante is a 'teinturier' grape (with red flesh as well as red skins), and this example is an amazingly opaque purple colour.
The nose is sweet and slightly spicy, leading to a dense, concentrated palate with rich, juicy fruit and high acidity.
